So, who's the favourite now all the big names have been
thrown out for blood doping?

I'm hoping the Aussie Cadel Evans does well...... an all
round cyclist who finished 8th, I think, last year....

On the drugs front, I used to party with a crew that
included some professional cyclists who raced in Europe, and
they were fiends. Not surprising at all that the big names
have been caught.

And can someone with a TV tell me if the Prolog has started?
The Tour website isn't saying that it has.

....it looks like you were right......

... and what does this say about Lance, if he was so much
better than all the cheaters that now have been caught?

i'm 99% sure lance was on dope too (any kind of cheating) i
saw was many reports on tv about it (he WAS on dope in 1999,
its been known last year) but as he was under contract if it
is known that he cheated, some of his sponsors (insurrance)
might send him to court to get their money back, so he will
never tell the truth.

...and of course he only has one ball............ distinct
advantage

i dont want to be nasty but lots of people were suprised by
his "balls cancer", coz he was very young when it happened &
silly rumours were already known ; i dont remember the
detail but i'm affraid lance is not really clean if you know
what i mean..

this is just silly..armstrong was never questioned while he
was still active, and look now..both best riders are already
out. i really wanted ulrich to win this one..and basso is
ace too..this is just crazy..

Points: 683 Status: Lurker



no, i think there were strong doubts about armstrong but
yeah i'm pretty disapointed 'coz ulrich was waiting for this
'no armstrong tour' for years. he must be devastated but
i've heard about "2 speed Tour" for years (the ones who
takes dope - & wins - & the other who could not compete..)

This is going to be a very interesting Tour.

btw: What is doping and what isn't...? as it's a very blurry
edge.

it really is a fine line, for example if you fall and hurt
yourself using the wrong ointment can be considerd doping.
being on dope or not winning the tour 6 times is quite an
achivement.

you think?....... because you've got the best crooked
doctors in your pocket?......

Anyhow, Stuart O'Grady 6th, Michael Rogers 7th, Cadel Evans
14th......

and Thor Hushovd in the Yellow Jersey.

yeah, but that doesn't make him a good person. and why would
everyone else bother to come on tour if they had no chance
to start with?..

i think the tour will be more exciting then ever. it's an
open race again. there probably isn't going to be a dominant
winner in this tour. it's good to have been rid of all the
ubermen.

its fucking stupid that basso, ullrich and other riders are
thrown out of the tour because there arent any really good
proofs that there are guilty its like guantanama bay where
people dont get a trial either. their are just on a stupid
list it dousnt mean they have used doping. it were just
decisions by stupid right wing people controlled by money
and the media. i hope they get a high lostmoney

sorry for the bad english

Points: 683 Status: Lurker



no, even if the press do not reveal much, they know what
they do by throwing them out. i still feel sorry for ulrich

if there are innocents, they will go to court & will defend
themselves (a thing armstrong never did while facing
accusations in the media) but i doubt they will.

i know its slightly off-topic, but this thread seems a bit
far down the messageboard listing already so...

What do you lot think of Kraftwerk's "Tour de France"?

they were thrown out by their own teams, not the tour
management.... to me that suggests that the teams know they
are guilty...... otherwise you would fight tooth and nail to
keep your gun (and clean) rider in the event....

anyway, bit of a non-stage yesterday, no real moves made

that has anything to do with doping :s
